great answer TheAleph
and if your zip file is using PKZIP and you want to use hashcat modes -m 20500 = PKZIP Master Key or -m 20510 = PKZIP Master Key (6 byte optimization), we recommend you to use https://github.com/kimci86/bkcrack which was tested (by s3in!c et al.) together with -m 20500/-m 20510 . this only works for the older versions of the zip files of course, winzip is much different/harder
